Patuloy na Paglago ng Tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo - ang Iglesia Katolika

Ang Kasinungalingan ng Isang Bagong Kaanib ng INC™ 1914

"Wala naman sigurong KATO-LIKO na magsasabi na fake ito", ang sabi po ni Wayne Dotor sa kanyang komento sa YouTube video ng INC™-1914.

Tunay nga pong "dating" seminarista ang bagong kaanib ng INC™ na tatag ni Ginoong Felix Y. Manalo noong 1914. Ang hindi lamang po makatotohanan ay ang sabihin niyang siya'y lumabas ng seminaryo sapagkat napagtanto niya na mali ang aral ng Iglesia Katolika.  Ang KATOTOHANAN sa likod ng kanyang pag-anib sa Iglesia Ni Cristo® 1914 ay sapagkat natagpuan niya, ayon sa ating kapatid na Charles Patrick, ang kanyang kasalukuyang asawa. Siya po ay lumabas sa seminaryo mahigit 4 na taon na bago pa siya nagpasyang umanib sa iglesia ni G. Felix Manalo. Hindi raw po niya tinapos ang 4-na taon ng Pilosopiya at nag-aral at nagtapos bilang isang guro.  Noong siya'y naging guro ay doon pa lamang niya nakilala ang kanyang kasintahang kaanib ng INC™. At dahil inibig  niya ng lubos ang kanyang kasintahan kaya't pinagpasyahan niyang IPAGPALIT ang kanyang BIRTHRIGHT bilang Katoliko sa kanyang asawa.  Pinagpalit niya ang tunay na iglesia sa isang peke.

Marami pong mga kwentong katulad ng kay Ginoong Joebert Gavieta. Dating Katoliko, umanig sa INC™ alinsunod sa kagustuhan ng kanilang mga minamahal. At para sa isang debotong INC™ ang pag-aasawa ng isang Katoliko ay isang paraan upang hikayatin sila sa iglesiang tatag ni G. Felix Manalo. At para sa kanila, ang gawaing ito ay kalugud-lugod sa Ama upang maligtas sa dagat-dagatang apoy ang mga Katoliko na "sumasamba sa mga inanyuhang kahoy at bato."

Ngunit para sa mga TUNAY na KAANIB sa TUNAY na IGLESIA NI CRISTO ~ ang Iglesia Katolika na "sa pasimula ay siyang Iglesia ni Cristo" (Pasugo Abril 1966, p. 46) ang PAGSISINUNGLING ay isang uri ng PANLILINLANG. At ang PANLILINLANG ay hindi katangian ng isang taong maka-Diyos sapagkat ang Diyos ay HINDI manlilinlang kundi ang DIABLO! Ang Diyos ay DAAN, KATOTOHANAN at ang BUHAY.  

Kaya't sa ating pagsisiyasat, hindi po tayo dapat umanib sa mga iglesiang MINAMALI ang aral ng iba, NAGSISINUNGLING sa kanilang mga turo at NANLILINLANG sa kanilang mga aral. Iwasan po sila at itakwil ang gayong mga paniniwala. Dito po tayo DAPAT sa TUNAY na Iglesia ni Cristo ~ itong Iglesiang tatag mismo ni Cristo noong 33AD at hindi ang tatag lamang ng tao nitong 1914!
 

Nepal: Dating mga Pagano Umanib na sa Tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo!

Nakakalungkot isipin na sa kabila ng hirap, pagod at panahong ginugol ng mga misyonerong Katoliko para maiparating ang Mabuting Balita sa mga lugar na hindi pa nakarinig tungkol sa Diyos at ating Panginoong Jesus at ng Santa Iglesia (Katolika), sumusunod naman ang mga BULAANG PROPETA at mga NAG-AANYONG MGA TUPA na mga proestante tulad ng mga Saksi ni Jehova (Tatag ni Charles Taze Russel noong 1870), tang Iglesia Ni Cristo® (tatag ni Felix Manalo noong 1914), ang mga Sabadistas (tatag nina Ellen Gaud White noong 1863), at marami pang ibang mga nag-aaway away na mga sektang Protestante. Sila ay nagdadala ng pagkalito at pagkakahati ng bayang Kristianismo sa pamamagitan ng pagbabasa sa kanila ng mga SINALAULANG mga kopya ng biblia para lamang sa kanilang makasariling adhikain.  Ipagdasal natin ang bagong Iglesia sa Nepal na sila'y manatiling tapat sa Diyos at sa ating Panginoong Jesus, sa Santa Iglesia at sa Magisterium.  Ang lahat ng kapurihan ay sa Diyos na Santatlo ~Ama, Anak at Espiritu Santo, magpasawalang-hanggan!  

Nepalese Dalits abandon Hindu faith en masse. They believe in Jesus who will save them

by Christopher Sharma

In Surkhet district tens of thousands humiliated for caste reasons ask to be baptized. The decision was taken during a secret meeting with 200 representatives. Hindu prohibition makes their lives impossible. The fact is symptomatic of a more general phenomenon. In Nepal there is a law against discrimination, but police do not intervene and complaints are never taken into account.

Kathmandu (AsiaNews) - The Dalits have decided to organize a secret meeting to pray for Jesus to save them. Conversions and renunciations of the Hindu faith are occurring in the Surkhet district of western Nepal. The Dalits are marginalized because of their caste belonging. And they are tired of suffering serious discrimination and threats.

Sanu Nepali, 21, was beaten by some senior caste members on Wednesday, July 5. They accused him of bathing in public drinking water, polluting it physically and above all "spiritually." He ended up in the hospital.

Two months ago, a nine-year-old Dalit boy, Bhim Bahadur, was brutally beaten with perhaps only because he dared to enter the kitchen of a family of a higher caste of his, in the village of Barahatal, in the same district.

It is estimated that about 50,000 Dalits in Surkhet District, who were victims of serious discrimination, have decided to leave the Hindu faith and embrace the message of Christianity. The decision was taken in the meeting with a large number of representatives.

Lal Babu BK, one of the participants said, "We were more than 200. We have come together to convert to Christianity to save ourselves. We have all practiced Hindu faith for generations since it was mandatory, but today the country is secularized and Hindu faith can not save us. Those who torment and who humiliate us are Hindus like us. By being named untouchables we are judged from the bottom down. We can not even touch lower caste people, can not enter their homes, we can not touch public drinking water and can not have access to public places. So what is this belief? Are we certain in this faith? We concluded 'no' and decided to convert to Christianity. " "We are in danger everywhere," he added, "and we are discriminated at any time, so we ask for the grace of Jesus because we have seen that there is no discrimination in Christianity. We believe that Jesus can protect us." "The decision is made even if we have not yet contacted the Christian priest who can baptize us," concluded Lal Babu BK, "we will do it and we hope the priest will welcome us."

Sudip Pathak, a human rights activist, commented: "People are free to take all necessary protection measures when they are threatened and the state can not protect them."

Binod Pahadi, a Dalit and former parliamentary activist, said: "It is not only the question of the district of Surkhet, but it is symptomatic of the situation in the whole country. There is a law against discrimination and for equality, but in practice there is a strong oppression of low caste people. "

Jayasara, mother of Bhim Bahadur BK, said: "We made this decision from the moment we had no alternatives to save us."

A few months ago, a similar case had occurred in the capital of Kathmandu. Kamala Nepali, a Dalit woman was violently beaten for having touched the water taps in Chandeshwori in Tokha Municipality in Kathmandu. Shanta KC, the woman who beat her has never been punished.

There are legal provisions against such discrimination, but when victims present their complaints, they are not heard.

Police Officer Bhattarai, involved in this case said, "Victims can not produce evidence and we can not punish anyone in the absence of evidence."

However, there are thousands of people who are victims of such aberrations in Nepal.

Ang Pag-Anib sa Iglesia Katolika ay Karapat-dapat at Tama!

Ang tunay na PAGBABALIK-LOOB sa Diyos ay hindi ang SISIRAAN ang dating kinaaniban iglesia tulad ng mga dating katoliko na umanib sa samahang tatag ni Ginoong Felix Manalo na walang bukambibig kundi ang siraan ang Iglesia Katolika.

Ang mga UMANIB sa Iglesia Katolika na sa "pasimula ay siyang [tunay] Iglesia ni Cristo." (Pasugo Abril 1966, p. 6) ay umanib dahil nakita nila ang KATOTOHANAN rito. Nakita nila ang tunay na kaligtasan rito at nadama nila ang tunay na pagmamahal ng IISA at TUNAY NA DIYOS ~ ang BANAL NA TRINIDAD ~ Ama, Anak at Espiritu Santo! Dito nila nasumpungan ang totoong PAMILYA NG DIYOS na kinaaniban ng mga banal. At ayon sa kasaysayan ay SIYANG NAG-IISA, TUNAY na Iglesiang TATAG ni Cristo at hindi ang nagpapanggap ng Iglesiang tatag lamang noong 1914 sa Pilipinas.

I didn’t need a degree in theology to convert. Being Catholic just felt right.

While most people my age are leaving the churches of their childhood or declaring themselves “spiritual but not religious,” I decided, during my freshman year of college, to join a centuries-old hierarchical church. When I tell people about my choice to become Catholic four years ago, reactions vary from shocked facial expressions to genuine congratulations to complete disgust—even from people raised in the church. But there is one question nearly everyone asks me when I tell them I decided to join the Catholic Church when I was 19: “Why?”

It is a question I am not sure I have a satisfying answer to. I was recently out at a bar with friends from my graduate school and mentioned my conversion. A stranger who overheard this leaned over the crowded table to ask me what drew me to the Catholic Church. I laughed at the question, a bit taken aback that this man did not realize how personal the question was. I joked that “I was jealous of all the kids in my neighborhood that had first Communion parties growing up!”

If I had given this stranger a real answer, however, I would have had to tell him a drawn-out story of how God slowly worked in my life to pull me toward experiencing him in the Eucharist.

Still Catholic Converts are Rising Despite Scandals

"I will build MY CHURCH" says the Lord Jesus Christ, the FOUNDER of the CATHOLIC CHURCH ~ the real, only CHURCH OF CHRIST on earth. A Church not founded by fallen men and women. A Church that has been tested in the past 2000 years. The Devil is trying hard to infiltrate His Church but these evil men and women who are IN His Church will be exposed in fulfillment of His promise that "the gates of hell shall not prevail"! (Mt. 16:16-18)

Despite scandals, over 1,000 British to become Catholic at Easter

Catechumens and candidates at the Rite of Election (Diocese of Westminster / Flick)

WESTMINSTER, England, March 19, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Despite the clerical abuse and cover-up scandals that have rocked the Catholic Church, over 1,000 people in England and Wales are expected to join the Church this Easter.

The UK’s Tablet reported last week that 419 catechumens (converts awaiting baptism) and candidates (baptized Christians seeking to be received into the Church) participated in the Rite of Election in Westminster Cathedral in London on March 9 and 10. Representing the largest group of converts, they came from 93 parishes. In Birmingham, 181 candidates and catechumens participated in their diocesan Rite of Election. In Nottingham, there were 151; in Portsmouth, 115; in the Diocese of East Anglia, 62; in Clifton, 47; in Lancaster, 32; and in Middlesbrough, 23.

In addition to these English figures, 37 prospective Catholics took part in the Rites of Election held in Cardiff, Wales.

At Westminster Cathedral in London, Cardinal Vincent Nichols addressed the 200 catechumens and 219 candidates, saying: “These ceremonies are among the largest gatherings of people from parishes across the diocese who join me in giving thanks for the great work that God is carrying out in your lives.”

“We give thanks to God for the ways in which our parishes and diocesan family will be enriched by you, and we promise to continue to support you and your families with our prayers and the example of Christian life that you experience in our parish communities,” he continued.

In St. John’s Cathedral in Norwich, 30 catechumens and 32 candidates from across the Diocese of East Anglia gathered for their Rites of Election on Sunday, March 10.

In his homily, Bishop Alan Hopes told the prospective Catholics, “Today is a celebration of your hope and trust in Jesus Christ, to whom you turn for salvation. Today you are being elected, chosen, called to salvation. The Church rejoices with you as she numbers you amongst all those who have been called and chosen.”

“During Lent, together with the whole Church, you are being called to turn to the Lord. You are being called to deepen your commitment to Him and so grow in holiness. You are being called to become saints of God,” Hopes continued.

“This call is not just for special people, but for everyone. We are all called to become like Jesus Christ.”

The Catholic Church in Scotland, which is overseen by the Scottish Bishops’ Conference, expects to welcome dozens more into the fold this Easter. According to Peter Kearney, the director of Scotland’s Catholic Media Office, this year there are 57 catechumens and candidates for the Diocese of Glasgow and 22 for the Diocese of Motherwell.

The other Scottish dioceses had not yet responded to a request for information by press time.

Dating Hindu, Ngayo'y Kaanib na ng Tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo at Naging Pari!

Buong Tribo Umanib sa Tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo

Isa na namang kamangha-manghang PAG-ANIB sa tunay na Iglesia ng mga tribong Manobo ayon sa kwento ni Kenya Sinclair Kenya Sinclair (Catholic Online), April 27, 2016.

Manobo tribe embraces Jesus (tikbo).

 LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to missionaries from Christian Aid Mission, nearly the entire village converted to Christianity after eight months of hearing the Gospel then finally watching "Passion of the Christ."

The ministry director, whose name has been concealed for security purposes, explained the villagers attended Bible classes for eight months before the fateful weekend they learned the powerful promise of Genesis 22:18, in which God tells Abraham, "All nations on earth will bless themselves by your descendants, because you have obeyed my command."

The director explained, "The week before presenting the gospel lesson was a week of suspense. Everyone was in anticipation as to what would happen to Jesus after He was arrested by the Jewish leaders. To make the teaching of the gospel that night more vivid, the teacher inserted a brief video clip of the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus from the movie, 'The Passion of Christ.'"

Following the clip, the director said an old man "emotionally said, 'How I wish I could be by Jesus' side and help Him!' But after the truth had been explained concerning the death and resurrection of Christ as God's only provision for man's salvation, a feeling of awe and amazement was felt."

The sacrifice of Jesus touched the tribe, who expressed both understanding and faith that night.

"Finally, after consistently teaching over the past eight months from Genesis onward, we were able to present the gospel, and nearly the whole village responded and trusted Jesus as their Lord and Savior," the director stated. "It was a great joy for us to see them understand the saving grace of Jesus for salvation; some cried as they shared their testimony of faith."

The next day, the Manobo adults shared their responses to the Gospel and of Jesus' resurrection.

The Manobo were converted after seeing "Passion of the Christ (Tweaktown).

One converted older man said Jesus "suffered so much for me. I'm glad He rose again from the dead."

Another elderly woman who came to Christ explained she was grateful to hear Jesus' story and, though she was not long for the world, knew heaven awaited her because of Christ's sacrifice.

The director explained, "Many more Manobo, both children and adult, expressed faith in Jesus. Truly, God is at work in the lives of these people, moving them from darkness to light, into His eternal kingdom."

According to a report from an Austrian media, Kurier; the Austrian Bishops’ Conference have estimated that over fifty (50) Muslims including people who practice other religions have been converted to Catholicism and will be baptized this year.

Most of the Muslims who have converted to Catholicism are mainly migrants from Syria, Afghanistan, and Iran. This figure is up from one-third in 2015. The Austrian Bishop conference has estimated that the rising number of Muslims-converting-to-Catholicism is expected to increase in 2017 due to the fact that there has been an increase in the number of refugees arriving in Vienna in recent months and because the conversion process, known as the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, takes up to a year to complete.

The Archdiocese in Vienna is handling between five and 10 adult baptism requests per week, Kurier says.

Kuwentong Pagbabalik-loob ni Alfie J. Angeles - Dating ADD, lumipat sa INC® ngayo'y Katoliko na!

Seminarista Alfie J. Angeles

THE STORY OF ALFIE ANGELES

Catholic-turned-ADD-turned-INC. At home at last.

Story extracted from The Splendor of the Church Blog of Fr. Abe

“Life not spent in serving the Lord is a life lived in vain.”

Ako ay isinilang noong January 6, 1982 ng mag-asawang Domingo Mangalindan Angeles at Marina Rosco Jugal sa maliit na bayan ng Montalban, Rizal na tinatawag ngayong Rodriguez, Rizal. Nang makilala ng aking ama ang aking ina, ang aking ina ay mayroon nang dalawang anak sa una niyang asawa. Sila ay sina Michael at Marlon Ortazo. Nang una, ang aking mga magulang ay naninirahan sa bahay ng nanay ng aking ama sa Burgos, Rodriguez, Rizal, subalit dala ng pag-uusig noong una ng ilang kapatid ng aking ama ay nagpasya silang manirahan nang bukod sa isang bukid na sinasaka ng aking ama. Dito ay napatunayan ng aking ina na sa hirap man ay maaasahan ng aking ama ang pagtulong ng aking ina. Hindi naman naglaon ay natanggap ng mga kapatid ng aking ama ang aking ina. Ako ay naiwang kasama ng aking lola na si Teodora M. Angeles na kung saan doon ako lumaki at nagkaisip. Tuwing Sabado at bakasyon ay lagi akong pumupunta sa bukid ng aking ama.

Sa murang edad, natuto akong magtinda ng gulay na inaani ng aking mga magulang. Sumasama rin ako sa aking ina sa pagtitinda ng gatas ng kalabaw. Lahat ng aking kinikita ay ibinibigay ko sa aking lola. Ang lola ko naman ang nagbibigay ng baon sa akin araw-araw.

Taong 1988 ay naoperahan ako dahil sa appendicitis. Dito una kong nalaman ang aking pagkahilig sa relihiyon. Natatandaan ko pa noong ako ay hindi pa nag-aaral, ako ay hinanap ng aking mga pinsan at hindi nila ako matagpuan. Makalipas ang ilang oras ay natagpuan nila ako sa simbahan ng Señor de Burgos sapagkat naging ugali na namin noon na sa tuwing darating ang Sabado ay nagsisimba kami. Napansin ko kasi na hapon na ay hindi pa gumagayak ang aking mga pinsan kaya ipinasya kong mauna na sa kanila.

Naging miyembro rin ako ng choir ng Señor de Burgos noong ako ay grade six. Ako ang nanguna sa aming mga magpipinsan sa pag-aaral kung paano magdasal ng rosaryo. Ang mga kabataan sa amin ay naging hilig ang pagdarasal ng rosaryo lalo na noong panahong iyon ay wala pang kuryente sa aming lugar.

Ako ay nag-aral sa Burgos Elementary School Unit I, mula grade 1 hanggang grade 4 at ako ay nagkamit ng ikalawang karangalan at maging sa pagguhit ay nakilala ako, subalit nang ako ay lumipat sa Burgos Elementary School Main, ay hindi na ako nagkamit pa ng karangalan.

Buhay High School

Ako ay nag-aral sa Doña Aurora High School isang pribadong paaralan sa San Mateo. Dito nagpasimula ang aking hilig sa relihiyon. Natuto rin akong makisalamuha sa iba’t ibang tao. Dito rin ako natutong makipagkaibigan at makibagay. Tinatawag nila akong “father” sapagkat nang magtanong ang aking 1st year high school teacher na si Mrs. Sarita kung ano ang nais namin paglaki namin, ang sinabi ko ay nais kong maging isang pari. Maituturing ko ngang coincident o premonition ang nangyari sapagkat ang iginuhit kong pari ay isang Franciscan priest.

Ang unang pagsusuri sa relihiyon

Taong 1995, may pumasyal sa aming mga misyunero ng simbahan ng Mormons. Inanyayahan nila akong makinig sa gagawin nilang pag-aaral. Ako ay nagpasyang mag-aral sa kanilang relihiyon dahil sa kuryosidad sapagkat ang aking mga pinsan noon ay sumama na sa ibang relihiyon. Ako ay nabautismuhan sa relihiyon ni Mormon taong February 1995 subalit hindi ako nagtagal sapagkat ibang-iba ang kanilang mga seremonya na bilang batang bagong anib sa kanilang relihiyon ay hindi magugustuhan ang sistema. Hindi ko na rin napagtiisan ang kanilang mga kakatwang doctrina.

Ang ikalawang pagsusuri sa relihiyon

Dala ng panghihikayat ng aking kamag-anak at kababata noon, ako ay sumama sa relihiyon ng aking pinsan, ang Iglesia ng Dios kay Cristo Jesus, Haligi at Suhay ng Katotohanan (IDCJHSK) na dito ay higit akong naging masaya sapagkat ang mga kaanib ay matanda lamang ng kaunti sa aking edad. Dito ay nahubog ang aking pagiging isang tao dahil ako ay nasa panahong tinatawag na formative years. Naanib ako rito noong March 30, 1996. Pinag-aralan ko rin ang relihiyong ito, at gaya ng dati, mga kakatwang doctrina ang sumalubong sa akin gaya ng pagpapahaba ng buhok ng babae na hindi maaaring putulin. Ako ay nagtagal na aktibo sa samahang ito ng isang taong mahigit.

Taong 1998, ako ay nagtapos sa High School, kasabay nang aking tuluyang pag-iwan sa samahang ito.

Ang ikatlong pagsusuri sa relihiyon

Noon ay unti-unting sumisikat ang samahang Ang Dating Daan (ADD). Ang lider ng relihiyong ito na si G. Eliseo F. Soriano ay nanggaling rin sa relihiyong aking inaniban, ang IDCJHSK kaya ako ay nagkaroon ng interes na alamin ang kanilang paniniwala. Nagkaroon rin ako ng interes sa relihiyong ito dahil sa kakaibang uri ng panghihikayat niya ng mga tao na makinig sa kanya. Ito rin ang panahon na ako ay pumasok sa kolehiyo.

Taong 2009 naman ay pumanaw ang tanging kasama ko sa bahay, at taong nag-alaga sa akin na totoong ipinagdamdam ko ng lubusan ang kanyang paglisan, ang aking lola.

50 Taon Anibersaryo ng isang Obispo ng Iglesia: Isang Convert!

Masarap magbasa ng mga kwneto ng mga bagong kaanib ng Iglesia ni Cristo. Si Monsignor James Bridges, ang kauna-unahang inordenahang pari sa Diocese ng San Angelo ay magdiriwang ng kanyang ika-50 anibersaryo ng kanyang pagkapari.

Monsignor James Bridges

Si Monsignor James Bridges ay dating Methodist ay umanib sa Iglesia noong siya ay 22 taong gulang. Sa kanyang mga matatamis na alaala, sinariwa ng butihing Monsignor ang kanyang pag-anib sa Santa Iglesia. Si Rev. Vincent Daugintis, isang paring Katoliko ay naging kaibigan niya sa kanilang 'family business' at sa maraming pagkakataon na sila'y nagpapalitan ng kuru-kuro ay humantong sa usapang Katoliko laban sa Protestante.

Sa kanyang alaala, sinabi sa kanya ni Rev. Vincent Daugintis "Oh Jimmy, si Cristo ay hindi nag-iwan ng aklat. Nag-iwan siya ng salita.

Dahil sa sagot ng pari, nagkaroon si Monsignor James ng pagka-uhaw sa katotohanan. At ang katotohanang ito ay nasumpungan niya sa Iglesiang tunay na tatag ni Cristo.
